Summary
Trump said Monday that Zelenskyy "doesn't want to stop" the war and that "somebody else" should negotiate for Ukraine, deepening a public rift ahead of Zelenskyy's talks with U.S. negotiators this week.
Ukraine says Washington has restricted support it relies on, including intelligence tied to ballistic-missile alerts and SpaceX speed caps that are slowing drone operations and disrupting interceptor links.
Rubio denied any U.S. pause in intelligence sharing, contradicting Zelenskyy's account that support had been blocked for a period and later restored.
Kyiv came under fresh Russian drone and missile strikes as Trump also said he might meet Putin and Xi next month, adding that Russia had been "fine on Ukraine."
